“Shu Hui, I’m so sorry for causing you trouble today. You know my story. When I fought with the thugs, I injured my head. The doctor said I wouldn’t wake up, and Wu Wenlan started a relationship with her classmate. You know what happened after that. She remarried with her child and ran off with my life savings. That’s how our relationship ended. But because I was unconscious at the time, we couldn’t get a divorce certificate. I urged her several times, but she kept making excuses to delay. That’s why it’s been delayed until today.”
Shu Hui was a little flustered; Luo Kangcheng didn't need to explain this to her.
She's just a country woman, divorced, and has four children. What feminine charm does she have that would make Luo Kangcheng say such things to her?
Moreover, Shu Hui never considered remarrying.
"Comrade Luo, you..." Shu Hui felt a little uncomfortable.
Luo Kangcheng smiled, holding a cup of tea in his hand. He took a sip before saying:
"Shu Hui, listen to me. I've wanted to tell you these things for a long time, but I haven't gotten a divorce. After thinking it over, I always felt that talking about feelings without a divorce was a bit frivolous and disrespectful to you. You are a very good woman, and I know about your past. I've interrogated the Zhou Fangchun sisters and Jiang Meifeng, so I have some understanding of your past. I know you've suffered a lot in the Zhou family, raising three daughters wasn't easy, but your daughters are successful, and you've also done well in your own career. All things considered, you have nothing to lack. But I still want to tell you my thoughts."
Luo Kangcheng continued:
“My career is going well now, and I will definitely not be a burden to you in life. If you marry me, you will become the director's wife, and it would be a lie to say there are no benefits. Our two families have always been close, and your daughter gets along very well with me and my parents. If we get together, we won't have to go through any adjustment period; it's like the two families living together. Although I am busy with work, I am not the kind of person who would mess around outside. I will not do anything like two-timing, unlike your ex-husband who had affairs. As long as you don't mind that I am busy with work, I think I am a pretty good candidate for remarriage. I am decent-looking, and my height and figure... to be shameless, are not bad either. I have a physical examination every year, and I am in excellent health. Shu Hui, I hope you will seriously consider me.”
Shu Hui was stunned. She stared at Luo Kangcheng in disbelief, her fingers clenched tightly in her palms, feeling completely overwhelmed.
In all her life, no man had ever confessed his feelings to her.
Moreover, this applies to powerful and influential men like Luo Kangcheng.
"Comrade Luo... do you have some misunderstanding about me? I'm not as good as you think. I've had four children, and I can't have any more."
Luo Kangcheng laughed, “I didn’t get married to have children. To be honest, I’ve been through life and death, and I’ve long since become indifferent to many things. You might not believe it, but when I was in a vegetative state, even though I was lying in bed unconscious, I could hear people talking. At that time, I knew that Wu Wenlan had absconded with the money, and I was in great pain and depressed for several years. I also felt sorry for my parents who had to work so hard for their good-for-nothing son. When I learned that my father wanted to sell the house, I felt particularly guilty. I always wanted to wake up and tell my father not to make such unnecessary sacrifices for me, to save some money for his retirement, and to live a good life with my mother.”
Luo Kangcheng sighed and gave a self-deprecating laugh:
“Those years were tough for everyone, and our family was shrouded in gloom. Until one day, I heard a woman's gentle voice, heard her comforting my parents with simple words, heard her chatting with them, heard her telling them how wonderful her daughter was… I heard every word she said. You helped my parents take care of me, wiped my body, and talked to me. Your arrival changed my life a lot. At that time, I wanted to open my eyes and see you. You said you weren't good enough, that you had four children, and if you think I'm after those things, then you're being too superficial. I want to build a family with you, not because you're beautiful, have a good figure, can make money, or are family-oriented… My feelings for you have nothing to do with any of those things.”
Shu Hui was stunned. She hadn't expected that Luo Kangcheng could hear her speak while he was in a vegetative state.
Seeing that no one was around, she muttered a lot of ridiculous things to herself.
If she could relive her life, she would definitely not marry Zhou Jian'an.
She said she was very beautiful back then, and many people liked her.
She also "chatted" with him about gossip, telling him about a relative's child who went to study at a vocational school in the county town and stayed at her aunt's house. Her aunt kindly took her in, bought her clothes, and gave her pocket money, but the child ended up having an affair with her uncle.
Her aunt knelt on the ground and begged her not to destroy her family, but she coldly refused and insisted that her uncle divorce her aunt.
Later, her uncle got divorced, got together with her as he wished, and they had a son.
But guess what? The good days didn't last long. This uncle suffered a stroke and became bedridden. The girl thought he was too old and useless, so she kicked him out and found another man.
The uncle suffered a stroke and was bedridden. He could only beg his ex-wife and children for forgiveness. Surprisingly, his ex-wife agreed and took care of him wholeheartedly from then on.
After years of care, his condition finally improved, and he regained his mobility. But then he abandoned his wife and children to go find that girl again…
Shu Hui also said a lot of nonsensical things, after all, she didn't know that a person in a vegetative state could still hear what others were saying.
"Comrade Luo."
"Shu Hui, don't call me that, it sounds too formal," Luo Kangcheng smiled, picked up the kettle next to him and poured himself a glass of water. "I haven't been drinking today, and these are my honest thoughts. Could you please seriously consider them and give me an answer?"
